This class will focus on the Tantric partner practices from the Jewel in the Lotus manual that has been part of the Spiritual Bootcamp Training for over 10 years. This winter class is open to new people who want to learn practices to do with a partner as a path to higher consciousness.
Firstly, you do not need to have a partner in order to participate (and no I will not be your partner :-). It is always prudent to study the map before going onto a new landscape and the same applies to Tantra, kundalini, and working with the chakras. Secondly, there will be no overt sexual activity or nudity in the class. This is about a study of Tantra as an ongoing lifestyle.
We will be doing practices including meditating together. There will be demonstrations of techniques including tantric massages, moving energy circuits, and kriya sexual activators. I am doing this because i continue to see how beneficial and powerful Tantric yoga is for modern spiritual development and important for a healthy attitude toward sexuality in general.
There will be a limit to the number of people and a selection process, ensuring it is a good chemistry in the circle. Participants will need to have a copy of The Jewel in the Lotus (3rd edition) by Sunyata Saraswati and Bodhi and Avinasha.
There will also be time devoted to relationship and communication skills and study of spiritual-science (handouts provided).
This 7 week training will also include 1 Weekend immersion (date to be decided): Friday evening, Saturday afternoon & evening, Sunday morning & afternoon.
Topics include:
The Role of Imagination in Tantra
Orgasm or Heartgasm?
Sharing of energy circuits
Chakra and Kundalini Massage techniques
Kriya Sexual Activators & Sexual Positions,
Transmuting Energy & Delaying Orgasm Techniques
The Sacred Sexual Environment and Ritual
Relationship & Communication skills
Human Personality Types
Participants will need to obtain a copy of Jewel in the Lotus book

Teacher-Facilitator: Jesse Stewart
I have been a spiritual seeker and teacher since my early 20s, and it has been an epic journey. The past 30 years I have given hundreds of one-to-one sessions as a spiritual-psychotherapist. I took up the training and practice of Tantra in 2014 when I saw the need for an upgrade in western civilization of energetic practices for mental and physical well-being, healing, and sexual congruence. Over the past decade I have been regularly offering the Body, Mind and Spirit Bootcamp to people seeking to put all their pieces together for smoother sailing in their personal and relationship life (see testimonial page) ... and life just keeps getting more epic!

Free Orientation Jan. 20 open to All
Focusing was started in the 1970's by Eugene Gendlin and continues as a worldwide movement. It is a somatic (body-based) method for processing the content you hold within yourself. It is a simple but profound 6 step process of directing the awareness to cues of what you are holding subconsciously so that it can be brought to the surface, shifted and integrated. Focusing is not just beneficial for dealing with trauma but also for problem solving, unlocking creativity, spiritual development, overcoming hypersensitivity, and becoming more centered in relationships. It's application is unlimited. And one of the best things about Focusing is that it supports the integration of body and mind.
This class will be using The Power of Focusing book as the study text and will need to obtain a copy of it.
Class participants will have the option to schedule a Focusing practice dyad-swap outside of class with another participant, via Zoom, on phone, or in person.
Teacher-Facilitator: Jesse Stewart
When I did my Spiritual Psychotherapy training at the Lifespace Institute in the 1990s, with Dr. Barbara Forest, I was introduced to Focusing and was deeply impressed by the effectiveness of this modality. Since then it has served as the backbone of the work I do with people, teaching it as part of the Spiritual Bootcamp training, and now presented exclusively on it's own program in this class.

The OzScope is an inner exploration / spiritual diagnostic tool Jesse developed in the 1990s. It draws from his training as a spiritual-psychotherapist, a Waldorf School teacher, and study of techniques used by pioneering psychologist Carl Jung.
Jesse published his discoveries in 1999 and the text will be part of the course curriculum.
Each session combines group practices, artistic exercises, and a teaching component. Content includes:
Unconscious influence of the archetypes
Understanding the dynamics of manifestation
Working in waking-dreamtime
Facilitating others in OzScope dyads
Discovering how you are configured inwardly and why you manifest what you do outwardly
Meeting your inner Dorothy, Wicked Witch, Not-So-Wonderful Wizard, Tinman, Scarecrow, Lion, Good Witch, etc.
If you don't have a copy of Jesse's book, participants will need to additionally purchase one.

This is a self-help tool I developed 30 years ago that evolved out of the combination of my training in spiritual-psychotherapy and my training as a Waldorf School teacher. It was while working with clients that I came to respect the power of the unconscious mind to speak and reveal itself ~ if we find a way for it to speak. This gave birth to the OzScope and the book that explains it and as well as examines The Wizard of Oz and other fairy tales as portraits of the human psycho-spiritual makeup. I continue to marvel at the powers we have to understand ourselves and to change the face of our destiny. As in Oz,so in Kansas!
